About The Author

Supplement:

Updated in 2024!

This supplement remains as a work in progress. It is the compendium of only those nineteenth century photographic cases which I have deemed worthy of recording and which I have seen since 2016 when the third edition of my book Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames was published.

Undoubtedly more items will surface in the future but the rate at which this is happening has slowed to less than a trickle. Certainly, it would have been better and more convenient for the user had I integrated them into the third edition. Such would have required revising the total page layout of that text, a tremendous task of time, energy and expense. The resulting volume would be close to eight hundred pages and cost of production would render the final product cost prohibitive to the buyer. Also, there would be little demand for it especially from those who already have the last edition. Perhaps in the future the original work can be divided into two volumes with the supplementary material included in the appropriate page location. All references to the 3rd edition refer to that printing of Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames.

Second Best Bifold I’ve Owned
Color: Black
I’ve gone through a lot of wallets over the years (cheap ones, expensive ones, slim cardholders, you name it), and this Timberland bifold with the attached flip pocket is easily the best all-around wallet I’ve ever carried. The leather is excellent: full-grain, soft right out of the box, and it’s aged beautifully in just a few months with a rich patina that actually looks better with every scratch and scuff. Build quality is top-notch: tight, even stitching, no loose threads, and the edges are finished cleanly. Four months of daily front-pocket carry and it still looks practically new. Layout is perfect for me. Six card slots plus the two slip pockets behind them handle everything I need (10 cards + a few folded bills) without getting bulky. The attached flip ID window is a game-changer; I keep my driver’s license and work badge there and can show either in seconds without opening the wallet. Cash fits easily in the full-length bill compartment. It’s genuinely slim for a traditional leather bifold, sits comfortably in both front and back pockets, and never feels like a brick. The embossed Timberland logo is subtle and classy. At this point I can’t imagine switching to anything else. It’s durable, functional, looks sharp, and was a fraction of the price of some “luxury” wallets that didn’t last half as long. If you want a classic leather bifold that actually delivers, this is it. 100% recommended; already planning to buy another as a backup.

Rugged Timberland Quality—The Best Bifold for "Double ID" Needs
Color: Black (Sportz)
Design & Capacity: I’ve been using this wallet for two weeks, and it’s a powerhouse for organization. The attached flip pocket is a game-changer for me because I have to carry both a driver's license and a work security badge. The two ID windows let me show both without digging through card slots. Genuine Leather: Looks and smells premium; will likely weather nicely with age. The Slimness Factor: Timberland calls this a "slimfold," and while it is thinner than a traditional trifold, the flip-out pocket does add some depth. With 6 cards and 5 bills, it measures about 0.75 inches thick. It fits comfortably in my back pocket, but it might be a bit much for a front-pocket-only user.

Wanting a standard nice wallet. Get this
Color: Black, Color: Black
Your standard wallet. Nothing to complain about. Does what it’s supposed to and I have no complaints. The fit is amazing. Holds at least 17 20 dollar bills and over. Durability is also amazing to say the least. Doesn’t rip at all, with a lot of money in it. Its thickness ties in with how much money you can fit in it, so I won’t go into that category. Overall what you see is what you get. A standard, nice, durable wallet that sticks into your pants.

High Quality but with tiny holes
Color: Navy (Blix)
There were two very tine holes on top of the wallet unfortunately. Otherwise the product nice snd high quality. I like it a lot but unfortunately I returned it back. That is the reason I gave 4 starts.
